O, just another question then. In the physx configuration screen you can choose between GPU and CPU. Is it wise to give the job to the CPU to leave more graphic power for the GPU ?
I leave it on Auto... never noticed any difference. That's actually a valid question: IS there any difference? Detail-wise or heat-wise? (Wouldn't mind offloading some heat from the GPU to the CPU...) I tried it before with stock cooler, but at that time high temps prevented me from gaming more than 15 minutes, lol... I'll go enable that on Mass Effect 2 and check the difference.
@bystander: Thanks for your reply, that gives me an idea of where I should start... I don't "have" all these games, just the Mass Effects and the Dragon Ages, and Metro/Dark Void I was only planning to get later, and since Metro 2033 is rather heavy, I wanted to know if PhysX card would help. Apparently, not so much.
@mousemonkey: thanks for watching for thread hijackers, but robjordy doesn't seem to be doing that... at least, not intentionally
Does any of you have any experience with PhysX yourself that you can be sure about? Before,
mousemonkey said the opinions differ so much that there's nothing better than just trying it out, but it'd be nice to know what people have seen to work for them already. I know that setting a second card for PhysX isn't a very popular option on Tom's - people prefer to go for a single card or SLI/CF - but I'd really like to learn more about this and so far all I've found on the internets is arguments, opinions and no real benchmarks... The option is there, SOMEBODY has to know how and where to make use of it!
